Coming from a magician, i have problems editing the start menu of my tytn...
Plz can you give me the key/keys to unlock (and move/delete) the links into start menu & programs folder?
thnx!
Just use the File Manager to cut and paste, or use the "explore" function of Activesync and do the same on the PC.

some default start menu shortcut cannot be deleted from pc (using activesync) as there are with read only attributes. just copy all the shortcuts to pc first, then delete all the
shortcuts from ppc using file explorer or totalcmd or any file explorer. then u can rearrange them back from pc and just copy back to pda.

I had the File Explorer icon in my programs folder. It is now missing in my Cingular 8525 Windows Mobile 6. How can I get the icon back into the programs folder?
activesync you device to the pc, then from the pc browse to \windows
create a shortcut for fexplore.exe, and move that shortcut to \windows\start menu
it's
\windows\start menu\Programs
unless he want it in the quick list
also you dont have to use the pc
you can make perfectly good shortcuts
using total commander and other explores
maybe file explore itself cant being that it suck a bit but reso
and total does the job
Hello,
I am using Manilla 2d on my HTC Touch. Before using it I had standart HTC HOme. It had good button that changed the brightness of display (as its shown in 1st image) . Is it possible to put such button in programs tab of Manilla? (I can change the brightness , but it takes time to go to Settings->System> and change there the brightness. )
Thanks for Help
Use a program like Resco Explorer (Or if connected PC, browse your \Windows folder from there), go to your Windows folder and copy the backlight.exe file, then go into \windows\Start Menu\Programs, and paste a shortcut there. It'll then show up in the list of programs to add to the Manilla Programs tab.
I don't think there's a way to add changing the brightness in one touch to M2D programs tab, but it's fine for me at least.
Thanks for Help
hmm. there is another problem that i cannot find \windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
I have sprite explorer on my pc and it shows in my backup file that Start menu\Programs is in folder System Settings. but i cant find it on my htc
Odd. Try clicking menu then tick "Show All Files", but even when you do that, you can't paste a shortcut into there using the normal File Explorer. You probably could copy the exe file there, but I hadn't tried that. That's why I say to try Resco Explorer on the HTC.
Finally everything works. direct link do Backlight. Thanx a lot
finding backlight.exe
hi,
thanks for the tip, but i can't find backlight.exe, only backlight.dll
any help much appreciated.

Hello all, it may be a stupid question, I'm new to WinMo (moving from Symbian) but how I can create folders in Start Menu list (WM 6.5) and move installed applications to these folders ?

Hi Muntos!
The easiest way is to connect your device to the PC via activesync. Then click on "Explore" and copy your programmes and paste a shortcut in the windows/start menu folder. Don't put the actual programmes in the windows/start menu folder.
An alternative way would be to do it on your Diamond 2 using the file explorer. Use your stylus to press and hold the programme, then it comes up with a menu. Press "copy". Then using the file explorer, navigate to Windows/Start Menu folder and then press and hold the stylus in a blank part of the screen. Again, a pop-up menu will appear and you select "paste shortcut".
Total Commander PPC
Hi all
Total Commander for PPC is a very useful tool for this exercise. In particular it has a function to "Hide files in ROM". This allows the Windows folder to load in a fraction of the time but won't hide any of your start menu shortcuts.
You need to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\XX where XX is the folder you want to edit/populate. If you want a folder to appear on the start menu itself, e.g. Games then create this directory:
\Windows\Start Menu\Games

Thank you guys, you made it very clear !
If you mentioned Total Commander, have you found a solution to the freezing problem when accesing Show\Directory hotlist ?
I have an exe that I found that I would like to add to my programs list. Is there a quick way to do this?
I can run it from file manager, but would like it to show up on the start menu or in list of programs
What you need to do is copy the file into
my device / windows / start menu / programs. Then paste it as a shortcut.
Hope this helps.
the in built file explorer wont let u do that. try total commander
When i right-click (hold the finger to the file) i get the following menu where you can see : Send shortcut to programs. It becaomes available in programs then.
Create a shortcut to the exe file using your file explorer and place shortcut in /windows/start menu/programs.
Thanks for everyone's help! I got it to work.
Glad you got it sorted.

Hello,
I've already read some threads about this issue, but all I see is this:
"Browse to /windows/start menu/programs and move the shortcuts".
I'm using the latest Topix release and there are already some folders with apps in them, so I just wanna do the same, while using the rom's default folders.
Is that even possible ?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible and it's easy. You will need to use your file explorer. I'll tell you what I did. I'm using the Resco Explorer so I had to make sure that I could see all files and folders including hidden and ROM by unchecking menu options to hide them. Then I justnavigateted to windows/start menu/programs and cut/pasted shortcuts to folders. You'll have to repeat the process for any newly installed applications later on. Hope that helps
easiest way to do this is connect your phone using active sync and simply browse to that directory and swap things around to your hearts content. If you want to change icon files use JWMD icon changer.
Thank you people, will try both and post back !

If you can't see windows folder you need to go to start - folder optons - view - uncheck "hide all operating system files (recommended)" in Vista.
